June 22, 2009 in Marlins History, Regular Season by jonnylons
Seems that the Marlins taking two from the Yankees is just a bit too much to bear. Joe Girardi and the Yankees officially filed a protest to dispute the outcome of the game on Sunday, FOX reports. Seems Fredi tricked himself with his moves: in the top of the 8th Chris Coghlan was slated to come out of LF for [...]

The score was 8-5 and Alfredo Amezaga was on 1B with Ross Gload at the plate. With a crack of the bat the ball sailed down the RF line and appeared to be a home run, putting the Marlins right back in the mix. Instead, something historical happened: the home run was called off. The umpiring crew got together and [...]

Goodbye, Shea Stadium. You won’t be missed. Well, at least by me. Never been there – went to Yankee Stadium instead. There is nothing that seemed to stand out about Shea except that stupid apple that would light up when the Mets hit home runs. Too bad it didn’t light up for the last two home runs hit there – [...]

It’s that time of year again – the close of the regular season. And yes, the Marlins failed to reach the playoffs this season, but considering no one picked them to be anywhere near where they are (except for a few of us here on MarlinsNation.com) we have got to consider it a success in that the Marlins are playing [...]

Even though the Marlins failed on what would have been a miraculous comeback to end the season, they still should hold their heads high for a successful season. They made it practically until the end of the 2008 season playing meaningful baseball – and if not for an August swoon, they may have been doing so in October as well. [...]

September 19, 2008 in Commentary, Philadelphia Phillies Rivalry by jonnylons
This is it, and does it get any better? Well, yeah, Game 7 of the World Series, sure. Been there done that, right Marlins fans? 1997? Well, this series with the Phillies could define our season. It could be our playoffs. With a sweep, we can stay alive as the season winds down here in 2008. Lose the series, either [...]

Right now the Marlins are in Seattle and I can’t help but think about how much they are watching the stands as they are watching the action on the field. The front office staff, that is. The Marlins have begun their plans to build a new ballpark on the site of the old Orange Bowl – in fact all that [...]

Citrus Series Proves Sour for Marlins
May 25, 2009 in Citrus Series, Commentary by jonnylons
The Rays came to town and leftquite an impression – blowing out the Marlins in the first two games of the series and rallying back in the final game yesterday to nearly sweep their cross-state rivals. Things are getting tougher these days for the Fish who keep battling anyway. Yesterday’s 5-4 win in the 11th inning of a Ross Gload [...]
